"This has to be one of the most friendly hotels we've ever stayed in. From the two hugely welcoming guys on Reception when we checked in to the absolutely amazing lady, called Tam, in the breakfast restaurant, everyone was so polite, helpful and genuinely happy to be of assistance. The buffet breakfast was piping hot and had a really good selection of items to suit everyone, and is great value for money if you book at Reception in advance. However, we ordered room service one lunchtime and the paninis were hard and had almost zero filling in them. I had a 4 cheese and red onion one and I couldn't see any cheese in it whatsoever. At £12 each plus a 5 tray charge, they weren't enjoyable, were almost inedible, and were definitely not worth the money. The hotel has dog-friendly rooms, and the extensive grounds surrounding the hotel are great if you're travelling with a dog, like we were, or if you just enjoy a stroll. On the plus side the staff are truly amazing and really make an effort to make you feel welcome. On the negative side the walls in the room we stayed in were paper thin, to the point we could hear whole conversations from next door, and the room service is expensive with poor quality food. We would definitely stay again, mainly due to the location and the friendliness and professionalism of the staff. But we'd definitely avoid the room service."

10/10 Excellent
"Ok so driving in you'll find plenty of parking spaces and then receptions at the far end of the building. There's a little bit of work going on but nothing too dramatic. Reception staff will helpful or be able to be a nice if they slow down a little bit with directions because we didn't quite understand where we were going but we found our room okay in the end. The main thing that's noticeable is the carpets hadn't been cleaned for quite a while they need a vacuum at least. Apart from that the hotels fairly well maintained. We were in an accessible room which was fine except for the fact that the shower is in the bath and that meant I couldn't use it. We had come to use the spa facilities which is fairly well located although some extra signs on the walls would do better because we went the long way round which is not helpful when you're disabled. There isn't lift so I had to manage One flight of stairs up and down. Facilities are quite good in the spa except for the fact that the hot tub isn't working and apparently hasn't been working for quite a while. we went in the steam room which was a good temperature and the pool was a good temperature as well. We were booked in for dinner bed and breakfast and the dinner exceeded our expectations. Three courses off a set menu. I had loaded nachos followed by vegetarian curry and Ice-cream my husband had the nachos and a large pizza. Will definitely stay here again."

"Second time staying here. Good location, ten minute walk from Birmingham Airport, NEC and Resort World. Lovely breakfast, lots of choice. Spacious, comfortable room. Very good sleep. Shower could do with a modern upgrade - shower head fixed to wall below head height, water pressure fluctuated. Didn't have chance to use the leisure facilities but they looked nice. Spacious lounge bar, reasonably priced restaurant. All staff very friendly and polite. Would definitely stay again."
